Over on CAPS, some 98% of the 2,769 members who have rated Dawson believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include A6EIntruder and All-Star wuff3t, who is ranked in the top 10% of our community.
In late March, A6EIntruder nicely summed up the seismic opportunity:
Provides the data that big, dinosaur oil needs ... skills and expertise are contractable (so oil giants don't have to pay to keep it all in-house). Will only get more valuable in the future as top-quality analysis and interpretation of data becomes more valued.
In a pitch from last month, wuff3t reminds Fools that's it not too late to jump in:
Found this using the CAPS screener and looking for all my favorite measurements: low P/E and P/B ratio, decent Current Ratio and EPS growth. Oh, and low debt. Well, [Dawson] scores on all counts, and beats the industry averages as well. Even after its recent run-up (more or less doubled since March) I still see this as a very undervalued company and expect it to outperform significantly once the world resumes its normal "oil-frenzy" mode.
